Misery Business

So the other day i was in my Mass Media Philosophy seminar, its a great seminar, the people are awesome, my TA is a pretty good guy and the actual content is actually interesting. Who woulda thought? During our discussion we started talking about blogs, and our TA was telling us that there are people in Iraq who write blogs about what is going on in their country. Could you imagine, sitting down at a computer to write about how you almost died that day? Or maybe someone you know. They are writing these things from their points of view of whats going on and what they see. It gives us a different perspective then what see and hear on the news. But what i was thinking was, how irrelevant does my life become when people are writing blogs about stuff like that? Maybe i shouldn't be writing a blog at all, seeing as what goes on in my daily life... really, isn't all that important?
